Back in the day, there was a time when Jayaram’s name was mentioned alongside Mohanlal and Mammootty in the upper echelons of Mollywood. He was a truly successful and shining star. However, the 2010s were not particularly kind to him in terms of box office success.
Post 2020, he has appeared in only a handful of Malayalam films such as Makal and Abraham Ozler, gradually shifting his focus beyond Malayalam cinema into other South Indian industries, primarily in character and comedy roles.
With that context in mind, let’s move on to today’s topic: the OTT release of Ashakal Aayiram, a Malayalam film starring Jayaram alongside his son, Kalidas Jayaram.
